What? Chinese airlines serve multiple round of drinks, a hot meal, ice-cream and snacks on 2 hour flights in COACH. Their business class is typically outstanding and miles ahead of European carriers, if not just for the seats.

I'll do coach in China over a SK Plus any day.

Typically all groups are called before the first "Group A" person is through the gates. Also SK agents never tell people to make room and get away from the gates.

I really appreciate how KL has started handling this at ARN, their staff won't board anything until group 1 and group 2 are through. They'll tell people to get away from the gates if they aren't in those groups as the boarding will take longer. AF does something similar with 4 different lines to queue in.

It appears that Scandinavians/Swedes really struggle with basic counting or the first letters of an alphabet as they all moronically stand in front of the gate blocking everyone else. Its like trying to leave a train in Sweden where the passengers entering the train board at the same time as those trying to get off and then have an awkward standstill or try to push past each other. Various developing countries have shown a better grip on these matters than 'first-world' Sweden.

No enforcement from staff has been the major problem, its taken SK years to finally introduce some kind of priority boarding but there is still no energy spend on making it happen. Typically outstations do a better job than their own hubs.
